The Wolves took an early lead . when Benjamin scored twice in rapid succession, made it 17 to 10 ,-at half time and 20 to 10 a little later. At that point Coach "Spec" Xeene of Willamette sent in four fresh players and when they fail ed to click, he changed hack to the original group, then made a number of additional changes hut all to no avail.

Those fans who haye been complaining the last few years that basketball was becoming too much a matter -of system, too stereotyped, ought te re joice this season, for there seems to be a swing In the other direction. Offensively, teams are turning- from set . plays to the old-fashioned dash dowa the floor, though a few . games have emphasized the op- posite tactics. . On defense, whether the man-to-man or zone style is used, the teams seem a little more disposed to move out and break up plays by interception or by judiciously charging in close and tying up the . man holding the ball. It used to he that hoopster had to get rid , of the casaba as though it were a hot potato, to avoid a ''held ball,?: but nnder recent Interpre tations he was given more leeway, because moving In on him was called a foul. This year there Is . more leniency In that respect. The 'ten-second rale and the three-second rule, lit force last year and with slight modifies- . ; -tion this year, hare helped to liven p the game. We haven't . heard of any tendency to repeal them this year though there ; was some discussion of It last season,., HE GET 40-14 11 111 WW "CW Coaches Acclaim Change in Grid Rules as Calc aited To Aid Attack and Scoring By EDWARD J. NEIL NEW YORK. Feb. It.-JP)-JL cross' section of coaching opinion covering the nation from one ex treme to the other, registered al most unanimous approval today of the 1934 changes in the foot ball rule book. Decision of the national rales committee in Atlanta Sunday to limit major changes to two elimination of the five-yard penal ty for two successive Incomplete forward passes as well as the touchback penalty on the first forward heaved unsuccessfully over an opponent's goal line was in accord with that of the special rules committee of the coaches themselves. In formal session here two. weeks ago for the purpose of de termining their stand as a body on possible rules changes, the com mittee had decided football was about right under the 1933 rules and suggested only "clarification and amplification" of eight rules. Included in 'these was removal of the penalty for successive in- DALLAS, Feb. 12. A definite showing of how Dallas high will rate In the district basketball tournament this year will be seen here tomorrow night when Cor vallis high comes here for a re turn game. The Benton county team won over Dallas on the Cor rallis floor early this season, SO to IS. Dallas is hoping to make a bet ter showing this year and to en ter the state tournament, but her hopes seem slim, as Corvallis Has made an excellent record this sea son. The Benton county team has won over Eugene mgn, a team that beat Dallas twice, and Salem high. For the past two years Dal 1r and Corvallis have fouebt it out for the district championship, with Corvallis winning tne tour- v. .oo r- rial! no tatlne second place. Both yearsthe battle has resulted in each team losing one game in the tourney and the Corvallis outfit taking the third and final game. At present Dallas Is leading me A division in the county league with three straight wins and is sure of a place in the county tour nament. Monmoutn is in secona place with two wins and one de feat while Independence is def initely out of the rannlng with four straight losses. Only one anm remains on the A league Kfhednio before the tourney, with Dallas and Monmouth meeting at Monmouth next Friday night.

Jones, Webb, Fischer, Kliever, Petre, pleasant and Hamilton. The game Tuesday night will he a double header with both A and B teams from the schools playing. SHELIi STMTS COMEBACK EFFORT PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 12. -UP Aiming once again at boxing's highest honor the heavyweight championship Max Schmellng. Germany's Black Uhlan of the ring, tomorrow faces Steve Ham as, aggressive North Jersey young ster, as his first hurdle on the comeback trail. For 12 rounds, or less, they swing punches in Philadelphia's big Convention hall. To the victor goes, possibly, a shot at the title. Schmellng has been placed on the long end o&early letting odds, perhaps because of his past rec ord, which Includes crownholder of the heavyweights before Jack Sharkey outpointed him. It Is Hen Max's first competition since the other pugilistic Max Baer of California knocked him out six months ago. Hamas, however, with his rush ing, tearing-In. style has plenty of suvporters. With his left hook and aggressiveness he has an excellent chance against Max In the first half of the encounter. Against this swing and rushing. however, Max pits his counter punching ability and his dyna mite-like right hand blows. The matter of underpinning. too. probably will play an Impor tant part in the contest. Hamas in the past has been bothered more than once with a bad knee. Billy Sullivan Sold to Minors CHICAGO, Feb. 12. - - Billy Sullivan, Jr., utility Infield and catcher, and Clarence Fieber, re eruit Iefthanded pitcher, were re leased on option today by the Chi cago White Sox to Milwaukee of the American association.

PETERSON WIXXER '1 LEICESTER, England, Feb. 1. -Gf)-Jack Peterson, former Brit ish heavyweight champion, knock ed eat Reggie Meen in the second round of a 15-round bout tonight- CORVALLIS III WAV OF DAUIIS HOPES complete passes, and while noth ing, was said officially after the meeting. It was understood the coaches, likewise, favored elimin ation of the touchback feature of all incomplete tosses over the goal line. So, with their major requests granted, coaches agreed today if all was well with the 1933 rules, all was better with the code for 1934. For the far west, Howard Jones, of Southern California, and C. E. "Tiny" Thornhill, of Stanford, gave their approval; Bill Alexan der, of Georgia Tech, and Dan Mc Gugin of Vanderbilt, spoke for the south. Bob Zuppke, of Illinois, and Elmer Layden, of Notre Dame for the mid-west. Only Raymond "Ducky" Pond, new head coach at Tale, had an objection, and that was to elimination of the five yard pass penalty. "I do not favor doing away with the five yard penalty or suc cessive incomplete passes," he said. "This penalty should be con tinued to prevent teams from throwing passes wildly." "I'm highly in favor of the rule which permits a first pass into the end cone without loss of the ball," said Jones. "It will make the defense stay back and give the offensive team a better scor ing chance inside the 20 yard line." POLLY AND HER PALS WHAT ?S,1 SStX f-HUHTuiB "SCT-S I SO?)

Q IGLOSECIE McMinnville Gets Break in Tight Finish to Nose Out 27-25 Victory One more Willamette- valley basketball team was added to the list of definite contenders for the state championship Monday night when McMinnville high, hereto fore under eclipse by Tillamook in Its own district, turned In a vic tory over Salem high, the 1933 champion, 27 to 25. The Salem high team however played raggedly In the first part of the game, especially on de fense. Coach Allison's McMinn ville high boys passed In light ning fashion and dashed in to score repeatedly, seeming to need little finesse to get into easy scor ing position; they were checked so poorly that they even picked the ball oft the floor a couple of times and scored. Meanwhile Salem was employ ing strictly a fast breaking attack and doing it raggedly, throwing the ball away in a majority of op portunities. McMinnville led 7-2 at one time, 13 to 7 at the end of the first quarter and 16-7 a little later; the visitors were still ahead 18 to 14 at halt time.

However, Perkins demonstrated in a previous bout with Mickey McGuire that no villain was nec essary to make his act a hit. and his meeting with Curtiss is ex pected to be equally lively. Harry Elliott makes the boys behave when he is the referee, but he isn't a bit gentle when he takes to the mat on his own account, and he is expected to make things lively for Mickey McGuire in their bout.
